I love America’s Got Talent (AGT) and Terry Crews. And now that I’m learning more about the man Terry Crews, I like him even more. His Twitter bio reads: Lover to my wife, father to my children, friend to my friends, and servant to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
He seems like a good man. Don Lemon… is another story. He is a complete tool.
Last night on CNN, Don Lemon interviewed Terry Crews regarding some recent, controversial tweets of Crews.
If you are a child of God, you are my brother and sister. I have family of every race, creed and ideology.
We must ensure #blacklivesmatter doesn’t morph into #blacklivesbetter

Are all white people bad?
No.
Are all black people good?
No.
Knowing this reality- I stand on my decision to unite with good people, no matter the race, creed or ideology.
Given the number of threats against this decision-
I also decide to die on this hill.

Lemon did his best to suppress Crews’ viewpoint from being fully articulated. Lemon also willfully ignored the Marxist, anti-family agenda of BLM.
BLM needs all the celebrity manpower they can get to obscure their true agenda, the destruction of the nuclear family, which is DETAILED ON THEIR WEBSITE.@donlemon does his best to talk over Terry Crews, but people are waking up.pic.twitter.com/njpYcPklhQ

Lemon began his segment by outlining the controversial tweets of Crews and saying that he “stepped in it.” Stepped into what? The truth?
Crews expressed some grave concerns about the radicalism of the Black Lives Matter movement.
CREWS: And when you have the leaders of the black lives movement, who are now talking about, you know, if we don’t get our demand, we are going to burn it down.
Other black people who are talking about working with other whites and other races, being viewed as sell-outs or called Uncle Toms, it starts — you start to understand that you are now being controlled. You’re not being treated as loved. You’re actually being controlled. Someone wants to control the narrative.
And I viewed it as a very, very dangerous self-righteousness that was developing, that, you know, that really viewed themselves as better. It was almost a supremacist move —
LEMON: Let me jump in.
CREWS: — where they view that — their black lives mattered a lot more than mine.
LEMON: OK. So, let me jump in here. There’s a lot that you said. You think that Black Lives Matter is — you said it’s — you think it’s an extreme movement? Because it’s now part of the —
CREWS: No. This is the thing. It’s a great mantra. It’s the true mantra. Black lives do matter. But, when you’re talking about an organization, you’re talking about the leaders. You are talking about the people who are responsible —
LEMON: OK, I got you. I got you. I got you.
CREWS: — for putting these things together, two different things.
Crews was also critical of the BLM movement due to its silence on black-on-black violence, particularly when it comes to children.
CREWS: When I — when I describe this. When you look at the city of Chicago, there are nine children who died by gun violence, by black- on-black gun violence, with — from June 20th all the way to today. And you talking about, even with the Atlanta child murders, there were 28 kids who died in two years. You’re talking about a month and you have nine black kids. And the Black Lives Matter movement has said nothing about this kind of thing.
LEMON: What does that have to do with equality, though, Terry? I don’t understand what that has to do with equality because — listen, there’s crime. There are people in those communities who — those people aren’t just being nonchalant about gun violence. I lived in Chicago. There are many people who are working in those communities to try to get rid of the gun violence. The gun culture in this country is prevalent.
So, according to Lemon, it’s the guns’ fault? What is he smoking? It takes evil, heartless people to pull the trigger and kill anyone, let alone children. Chicago, where a lot of this out-of-control violence is occurring, has some of the strictest gun control measures in the country. This is a heart and culture issue, not a gun issue.
Crews pushed back on Lemon.
CREWS: You know, it’s not that way. You know, this is the thing, Don. You know, black people need to hold other black people accountable. I said the same thing — this is the black America’s version of the Me Too Movement. If anything is going to change, we, ourselves, need to look at our own communities and look at each other and say, this thing cannot go down.
This is the thing, too. There are a lot of great, great people there who are held hostage, who are held hostage by people who literally are running these neighborhoods with violence, and then claiming that black lives matter.
Lemon claims the Black Lives Matter movement is focused on police brutality and not other issues facing the black community.
But here — here’s what I have to say. The Black Lives Matter movement was started because it was talking about police brutality. If you want Black Lives Matter movement that talks about gun violence in communities, including black communities, then start that movement with that name.
LEMON: But that’s not what Black Lives Matter is about. It’s not an all-encompassing. So if you are talking about — if someone started a movement that said cancer matters, and then someone comes and says, why aren’t you talking about HIV? It’s not the same thing. We’re talking about cancer.
Crews again slapped back at Lemon with facts, pointing out the BLM movement is focused on more than just police brutality.
CREWS: But when you look at the organization, police brutality is not the only thing they are talking about.
Perhaps BLM should rename their movement Blacks Against Police Brutality, because clearly Black Lives Matter is not about all black lives. Don Lemon straight-up admits this.
The movement is deceptively named in order to garner popular support and obscure the fact that it is a Marxist organization committed to the further destruction of the traditional nuclear family.
Terry Crews is a bold, courageous man for speaking up and taking the heat from all the libs, black and white.
We need more leaders like Crews to expose BLM for the radical, political, and anti-capitalistic movement that it is.
